Osasuna vs Eibar Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Osasuna are traditionally a much bigger club than Eibar but there can be no doubt who is in the better shape right now. Eibar come here as firm favourites and they are capable of racking up a comfortable win.

Eibar are in the hunt for Europa League football next season, which would be a tremendous achievement for a club of their size. It’s a big ask for them to get it but they’ve played with real attacking quality at times this season. Eibar have scored 1.62 goals per game on average. No side outside the current top four can better that and their away goals per game average of 1.58 is also highly impressive. They aren’t a side that goes into their shell on the road and they certainly won’t here against such weak opposition.

Their main goal threat has been Sergi Enrich. The forward has scored 6 goals in his last 8 appearances for the club so is in great form currently and will be looking forward to this game. With Osasuna so poor at the back, there looks to be great value in backing Sergi Enrich to score anytime at 7/4.

Osasuna’s return to the top flight has quickly turned into a nightmare. They will already be starting to think about life in the Segunda Division next season, having taken just 10 points from 26 games so far. They are yet to record a home victory and average a shocking 0.31 points per game on their own ground this term.

The main reason they’ve been so bad is their very poor defence. They’ve conceded 2.46 goals per game, which is the worst defensive record in La Liga by some margin. What’s more, their problems seem to be getting worse rather than better. They’ve conceded 3 or more goals in all of their last 6 matches, losing on each occasion.

Up against an attacking Eibar side, their defence could be in for another miserable evening here and backing Eibar to score over 1.5 goals at 10/11 looks to offer great value.
